Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 285

The more elaborate children's version also costs two or three thousand yuan, which is the one participating in this event.

Tiger and Qilin Studio not only offers tiger-head shoes, but also embroidered shoes, flowerpot-soled shoes, upturned-toe shoes, old-fashioned cloth shoes, straw sandals, wooden clogs, and more, covering all the shoe styles available at Qingfengyi. And they're all inexpensive, though they're labeled as machine-made.

There are handmade ones, but they're not cheap; the cheapest is over a thousand. The ones that cost over a thousand are the simple kind with fabric, artificial material soles, and a simple embroidery of an orchid, plum blossom, or butterfly on the toe or heel—super simple.

Many capitalists were stunned after reading it, exclaiming, "Wow!"

Use the sales event of Qingfengyi to advertise for the company, and take advantage of the situation.

They really know how to have fun.

Lin Qiaoqiao was furious after learning what happened next and asked Lin Shuying if they should go to the studio for an explanation. Lin Shuying found it amusing, thinking back to when she was also Chinese and had invited a stock market guru to dinner. While others genuinely invited stock market gurus to dinner, this person made a fortune from it.

The actions of Tiger Kirin Studio seemed to make a similar point, so she wasn't upset. That's how the world is; as long as there are loopholes, and someone has the ability to exploit them without breaking the law or disrupting world peace, you should admire them.

Finally, after Lin Shuying comforted him, they decided not to pursue the matter further, but agreed to pay a little more as a deposit for the copyright fee.

Tiger Kirin Studio doesn't care about this deposit. After mass production, their daily sales are skyrocketing, so why would they care about this little bit of money?

Furthermore, they did nothing wrong; they followed the rules without breaking them. They submitted their work to Qingfengyi's auction, not because they forced Qingfengyi to do so, but because Qingfengyi had the opportunity.

Since it's an opportunity, who wouldn't seize it?

Although the pricing did not follow Qingfengyi's suggestion, Qingfengyi provided an estimate, and the author or studio decided on the final price.

There's nothing wrong with that!

Since there was nothing wrong with it, Lin Shuying didn't pursue the matter. She encouraged people to seize opportunities to move up, because there are still opportunities to seize, and being able to move up shows that the world is still a very good place.

What's most worrying is when the opportunity is there, but it's not allowed, or the cost of seizing it is too high, causing 90% of people to miss it or not dare to seize it. Even if you seize the opportunity, you can't rise to the top, and that's truly tragic.

I used to wonder what caused the world to become a place where opportunities are hard to grasp, impossible to seize, and even if you do seize them, you can't advance.

Now she thinks that those who offer opportunities don't want others to seize them or climb the ladder. After all, resources are limited, and opportunities are few and far between; the more people grab them, the fewer there are for themselves.

Lin Shuying is ideal, somewhat like a chivalrous knight-errant from ancient times!

Even with only a wooden sword in her hand, she would still shout to save the world and punish evil. Many people turned their wooden swords into steel swords and slaughtered ordinary people, but her original intention remained unchanged.

After learning of Lin Qiaoqiao's secret decision, he had a heart-to-heart talk with her. Lin Qiaoqiao said, "Boss, if you do this, people will think you're a fool."

Super idiot.

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "But it's precisely because there are fools who give up huge benefits and are willing to charge into battle that most ordinary people in the world can live happily, and that this world can be harmonious and beautiful. Are soldiers willing to endure hardship and risk their lives? Or do they become millionaires after doing so? Or do those in power not enjoy life but work desperately because enjoying life is bad, or do they simply not want to enjoy life? Or did our ancestors who led humanity out of its prisons find joy in being injured and in sacrificing themselves? Or did they believe that fighting on the front lines and risking their lives would grant them immortality? None of these. It's simply because they have a pure belief—for the future of the nation, for the well-being of humanity, for the beauty of the world, and for the realization of an ideal world!"

Yeah, who wants to be a fool?

I simply want the world to be a better place; everything is for the realization of my beliefs and ideal world!

Lin Shuying's resolve grew stronger. No matter how many people disagreed with her or thought she was foolish, she was determined to do it!

Do it resolutely!

"Qiaoqiao, I am so glad that I have the opportunity and influence I have today. I can contribute to the realization of an ideal world. It is really sad when you know that an ideal world exists, but you have no way, no ability, no possibility of contribution or effort to realize it."

It is said that intellectual awakening is good, but when one has intellectual awakening but lacks the power to create a world within one's mind, one suffers.

Lin Qiaoqiao stood there stunned for a full minute, and two tears inexplicably streamed down her face. She said somewhat awkwardly, "I understand."

People with ideals are truly remarkable. Those who stand at a high vantage point, wielding resources and power, yet are willing to relinquish those resources and power to remain true to their original aspirations and pursue their grand ideals, are so great that they inspire awe and inspire a willingness to sacrifice everything to follow them!

The interstellar people were unaware that after this conversation between the two major decision-makers of Qingfengyi, Qingfengyi had completely transformed into an organization dedicated to realizing an ideal world and promoting Chinese civilization.

At this moment, they are also focused on their next piece: a peacock and pine embroidery screen.

This piece was submitted by an individual, an artist named Sun Miaoyi. She is a player of the game "Qingfengyi" and fell in love with embroidery and screens the moment she saw the peacock screen in the game.

When Qingfengyi was recruiting partners, and Xiaochang even offered to provide design drafts free of charge, she readily agreed. She even gave up playing Qingfengyi, quit her job, and gave up many other things. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the creation of this piece for a full six months!

She originally planned to display the item at a museum for a few days before taking it home to keep, but her father fell seriously ill and needed advanced treatment. Advanced treatment is much more expensive than basic treatment. She then recklessly quit her job for six months, indulging in a life of unbridled enjoyment and squandering all her savings.

At this time, Qingfengyi came down to collect the works, which was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Reluctantly, she also sent over the screen.

While medical benefits for serious illnesses are substantial, the remaining costs are often beyond the means of ordinary families, making it impossible to avoid debt. To reiterate, no matter how wonderful the world or how comprehensive the welfare system, it will never grant the underprivileged the right or possibility to enjoy a high standard of living. This is the ironclad rule of the pyramid of no-breakage structures. There is no such thing as an inverted pyramid of no-breakage structures; if it were, finding the equilibrium point would be extremely difficult, and the pyramid would be incredibly unstable—a slight touch would cause the world to collapse.

The screen is exquisitely crafted; the peacock on it is almost identical to the one embroidered on the peacock screen in the center of the Qingfengyi Mall. Lin Shuying's design is for a "Fu Lu Shou" (Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity) screen. The tiger represents fortune, as in some dialects the tiger is pronounced the same as "fortune." The tiger also symbolizes power and is believed to ward off evil spirits. Prosperity is represented by the deer, and longevity by the pine tree.
